A ray PQ incident on the refracting face BA is refracted in the prism BAC as shown in the figure and emerges from the other refracting face AC as RS such that AQ = AR. If the angle of prism A = 60° and refractive index of material of prism is `sqrt3 `. Calculate angle θ.

A ray of light passes through an equilateral glass prism such that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence and each of these angles is equal to 3/4 of angle of prism. Find the angle of deviation.
Two monochromatic rays of light are incident normally on the face AB of an isosceles right-angled prism ABC. The refractive indices of the glass prism for the two rays '1' and '2' are respectively 1.38 and 1.52. Trace the path of these rays after entering through the prism.

A thin prism of angle 6.0°, ω = 0.07 and μy = 1.50 is combined with another thin prism having ω = 0.08 and μy = 1.60. The combination produces no deviation in the mean ray.

(c) If the prisms are similarly directed, what will be the deviation in the mean ray? (d) Find the angular dispersion in the situation described in (c).
The deviation produced for violet, yellow and red lights for crown glass are 3.75°, 3.25° and 2.86° respectively. Calculate the dispersive power of the crown glass.
A ray of light is incident on a prism whose refractive index is 1.52 at an angle of 40°. If the angle of emergence is 60°, calculate the angle of the prism.
How does the angle of minimum deviation of a glass prism vary if the incident violet light is replaced by red light?
